Background And Purpose: In patients with metastatic melanoma who respond to anti-PD-1 therapy, the proliferation of intra-tumour CD8+ T cells is directly correlated with the clinical response, making tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) a treatment of interest in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor, which is the undisputed gold standard in the management of metastatic melanoma. The aim of this trial was, therefore, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sequential combination therapy consisting of nivolumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) and TILs adoptive T cells in patients with metastatic melanoma.
Materials And Methods: We performed an exploratory, prospective, single-centre, open-label, non-randomised, uncontrolled phase I/II study.

Background: In the existing literature, assessing transgender patients' quality of life after surgery, especially using standardized surveys, is rare. The nipple sensation regarding the operating technique has neither been studied in a prospective nor standardized way.
Methods: For one year, we prospectively assessed transgender patients operated on for a gender-affirming chest surgery in our unit.
Background: Therapeutic make-up has previously been proven to be efficacious in improving the quality of life of patients with facial dermatoses, but its efficacy has only been assessed in the short term (less than one month).
Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether the effect of therapeutic make-up on patients' quality of life persists in the longer term, i.e.
Traumatic amputation is a severe injury that requires urgent surgical care. A fillet-free flap from the amputated limb is the most conservative way to ensure proper coverage of the stump when replantation is not possible. We report the case of a male patient who suffered from a traumatic limb amputation in a motorcycle accident.
